Given its remote location and challenging weather conditions, Aniakchak is one
of the most wild and least visited places in the National Park System. This
landscape is a vibrant reminder of Alaska's location in the volcanically
active "Ring of Fire," as it is home to an impressive six mile (10 km) wide,
2,500 ft (762 m) deep caldera formed during a massive volcanic eruption 3,500
years ago.
